ASTONISHING SUCCESS

1t is the duty of every person who
has used BoScbee'S German Syrup
TO let its wonderful qualities be
known to their friends in curing
Consumption, severe Coughs, Group,
Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No per
son can use 1t without immediate re-
lief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty
of all Druggists to recommend 1t
to the poor, dying eonsumptive, at
least to try one bottle, as $4,000
dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was
repor :. Such a medicine as the
German Syr7p cannot be too wide
ly known. Ask your druggist about
it. Sample bottles to try sold at 10
cents. Regular size rs cents. Sold
by all druggist and dealers, in the
United States and Canada.

half that sum was made is proper
question for this Legislature to ask
before giving into the same hands
for disbursement the additional
amount now asked for. What guar.
antee have we that the same prodi-
gality will not prevail, and still fur
ther appropriation be necessary two
years hence? A vote Of censure
should accompany the appropriation
now made necessary by the unwar
ranted course of those responsible
for beginning work of such greater
magnitude than was contemplated
or suggested when the appropriation
Of two years ago was asked Of the
Legislature. If the present Legisla-
tire should even refuse to make the
appropriation asked for, ana the un-
finished structures be allowed to
remain in their present condition
for a few years, as monuments to
audacity of the Regents who SO
boldly assumed to run the State in
debt 100000, flor that in effect is
what they have done) it might serve
a good purpose in lettering others
who may transact business FOR the
people from pursuing like course.

Observation-Disclosures

Reports come from Washington
that there was a slight collision be-
tween Grosyenor, Of Ohio, and La
Toilette, of Wisconsin, in the house
ON the 26th inst. The river and
harbor bin was under consideration,
and Mr.. La Toilette having taken
some part in opposing the bill. Mr..
Grosyenor attempted to hold him
up to ridicule by referring to his
personal appearance and style OF
speaking. OF course such method
would never be resorted to by a
member who had any argum ent
to use against the positions Mr.. La
Toilette assumed; it is only low
resort to meanness when member
is crowded into close quarters. 1t
is true Mr.. La Toilette is not a
physical giant, but Mr.. Gros-
venor will find in him mentally, all
that he wants; he is fully able to de-
fend himself against the taunts of
any intolerant character To the
abuse of Mr.. Grosvenor, the gentle
man, from the Bird district is report
ed to have replied with much
spirit, and his position seems to
have been sustained by his fellow
members, who pronounce Gros-
venor's treatment harsh and unde-
served; and claim that La Toilette
had during this and last session
been rather modest, instead of max
ing a display, and that he had not
said anything which warranted his
being held 20 to ridicule. The con
stituents of Mr.. La Toilette have no
fear but their member will be en-
tirely competent to take care of him
self in any emergency; and are quite
confident, that whoever locks horns
with him in controversy will have
to keep a sharp lookout, or find him
self second best in the contest. Mr..
La Toilette is honest, bold and able,
and no amount of bullying or ridi-
cule will prevent his standing up
manfully and defending what he be-
lieves to be the right.-M0dis0n

KATE CHASE SPRAGUE.
The Misery of Brilliant, Beautiful
Woman.

Kate Chase Sprague has been here
attending the ceremony OF removing
her fathers remains TO Ohio. She looks
very we'll and shows little signs of age
or trouble. She was dressed in black,
and ii was a common remark that she
had lost but little of the beauty for
which she is so famous. She has much
of the features of her father, and it has
been @ften said that her ability is such
that had she been a man she would
have shone as he did. The greatest
mistake of her life was in the marrying
of Gov. Sprague of Rhode Island. 1t
was not long after the marriage that
she discovered this. Sprague's temper
was entirely Incompatible with hers.
His rude actions cut into her finer feel
ings. | remember an instance which
was told at the time of her divorce. 1t
happened early in the sixties, and he
annoyed her both at home and in So
cety. 1t was at dinner given by
President Lincoln in honor of Chief
Justice Chase, shortly after his appoint
ment as head of the Supreme Court.
Chase sat at Mrs Lincoln right hand,
and Kate Chase Sprague was seated on
the other side OF the table. Just opposite.
Senator Sprague escorted distinguish
ed lady 10 the dining-room, and his
seat was little bit further down the
table. Shortly after the dinner began
it was seen that Sprauge had been
drinking. He had taken 4 cocktail or
so before coming to the White House.
and the mixing of the whisky with the
wine he found there reduced him in a
short time to an intoxicated condition.
Before the fish had been passed his
tongue grew thick in his mouth, and at
the serving of the first entree it was
seen that he had sunk back into his
chair and was breathing heavily in a
drunken sleep. At this moment Mrs,
Sprague saw him. She became pale,
but did not lose her head She went
on with her conversation as gayly as
though her husband was the brightest
man at the dinner-table. But a mo-
ment later she caught her fathers eye
and by glance called his attention to
I the situatiou Chief-Justice Chase said
4 in a low tone to Mrs. Lincoln: Il see
that Senator Sprague is ill., VIII Won
I kindly have the butler assist him into
the cloak-room?N Mrs, Lincoln whis-
pered to a waiter. and the drunken
( Senator was quietly removed. He slept
upon the sofa during the whole of the
evening. and was taken home in his
/ carriage still in drunken StupOr. This
event is one that happened IN public.
A man who viii so forget himself at q
I White House dinner must have been a
+ perfect boor at home, and there is little
doubt that Kate Chase Sprague was
more sinned against than siuning.-

The & Woman Ha ter"

At Vienna a journal called "The
Woman Halter" has just been es-
tablished. What the particular
grievance of the editor is we do
not know, but it is claimed that the
journal will have the cordial sup
port Of a great many men including
husbands. 1t is probable that
woman's disgusting persistence in
wearing a high hat at the theater
will make many friends for the
journal in this country; but as the
Vienna theaters compel the women
to take off their hats, it is not easy
to understand why the Vienna peo-
pie should support such paper.
One London paper thinks that
Henry James novel, "The Boston
ians," has alarmed the males of
Europe with the prospect of the
American women's ways and that
"The Woman Halter" is published
to fight against it. Say the London
paper: "From Mr.. Henry James
book it seems as if America were
returning to the days when De
borah was Judge of Israel, or when
the Cum@an sibyl, or the Delphic
priestess ruled the destinies of
Greece and Italy. Young 'inspira-
tionaP wenches go about delivering
'inspirational' lectures on the scheme
of things, and are listened to and
applauded." But this is by no
means the sum of the young
American women's achievements.
She is ready not only to revolution
ize society, but she will rush into
jail and marry an Anarchist muir
derer. 1t was an American girl
who allowed her favorite poodle to
take bite out of baby because he
seemed to want to bite. 1t is the
American girl who keeps the street
car standing at a crossing for five
minutes, who chats with the ticket
clerk at the depot or theater when q
man is in hurry, who holds the
stamp-window at the postoffice for
ten minutes while she looks for
her change in various pockets.
Whatever may be the reason for
the establishment of such paper,
it is evident that it would not be
published unless there was a reason
able prospect of a profitable patron
age. It's subscription list will serve
TO show to what extent woman
haters abound. 1t is within the
power of woman to counteract the
influence of "The Woman Halter
by dotfing her high hat, by thanking
men who surrender their seats to
her in the cars and by making less
of a row about the smell Of tobacco
smoke, and by taking fewer unfair
advantages of the courtesy of men,

An Autumn Night.

What mellow radiance wraps the slumbering
world,
Soothing its harshncss With bcnignant
hand!
Against lustrous amber background
stand
Black bordered leaves and branches loosely
swirlcd;
In flushed or eitrne-tinted heaps close-curled
The apples rest: the orange pumpkins
yield
To eumbrous sheep; and on the spreading
field
The tasseied tents Of ripened corn are furled.
Elusive spirits flutter everywhere
Mid moist brown leaves; and all the vapor-
Gus air
Is filed with whispering in an unknown
tongue.
Yet not unknown; Thy praise is every
sound,
The teeming earth Thine altar is, fruit
crowned,
The moon golden censor near it swung.
